Question 1

What is NLK's initial total supply?

Accepted Answer

NLK has an initial total supply of 1 billion tokens. This is an initial-supply figure; it does not mean that all 1 billion tokens have entered circulation.

Question 2

Is NLK unlocked all at once?

Accepted Answer

No. NLK unlocks through a structured release arranged by phases and categories, rather than releasing every allocation at once. Unlocking describes the release of existing allocations and should not automatically be treated as issuance beyond the initial supply.

Question 3

Why do service providers stake NLK?

Accepted Answer

NLK serves as collateral in the service-provider participation mechanism. Providers stake it to provide services and receive rewards, so staking is connected to performing service work.

Question 4

Does simply holding NLK automatically earn network incentives?

Accepted Answer

No. Under the incentive design described in the NuLink whitepaper, users or NLK holders who do not actively participate do not receive NLK incentives. Simply holding NLK is not sufficient to earn these incentives.

Question 5

Must standard stakers run their own node?

Accepted Answer

No. NuLink's grid-staking mechanism lets standard stakers choose a grid and delegate their tokens to its grid maintainer, allowing them to stake without running a node themselves.

Question 6

Where can users obtain initial test tokens when testing NuLink staking?

Accepted Answer

On the NuLink testnet, users can use the faucet button in the staking dashboard to obtain initial test NLK and test BNB. These are test tokens and should not be treated as a distribution or unlocking of production NLK.

Question 7

When does the Pending Staking Amount in the dashboard take effect?

Accepted Answer

In the testnet staking dashboard linked by NuLink's documentation, the Pending Staking Amount is the amount staked in the current epoch and takes effect in the next epoch. A stake submitted during the current epoch is therefore not yet effective in that same epoch.

Question 8

After unstaking NLK from the staking pool, when can it be reclaimed?

Accepted Answer

In the mechanism described by NuLink's official glossary, tokens move from the staking pool to the pending pool and can be reclaimed in the next epoch. Moving principal to the pending pool and actually reclaiming it are separate states. The related operating documentation links to a testnet dashboard; this describes the documented rule and does not establish current mainnet availability or implementation of the same rule.

Question 9

What must a staking grid do before it can open for staking?

Accepted Answer

In the testnet staking dashboard linked by NuLink's documentation, a grid must first bond a Worker and start the corresponding node before it can open for staking. A grid without completed worker bonding and node startup does not meet the documented opening conditions.

Question 10

What condition must a new bid meet in a NuLink grid auction?

Accepted Answer

In the testnet staking dashboard linked by NuLink's documentation, a new bid must be at least the current highest bid plus the increment amount. Assessing a bid therefore requires both the highest bid and the increment specified for that auction.

Question 11

What must a governance proposal do before entering the Snapshot decision pool?

Accepted Answer

A proposal must receive sufficient discussion and support within the specified period before it can move to the Snapshot decision pool. Entering that pool advances the governance process; it does not mean the proposal has already been approved or executed.

Question 12

Which token do demand-side users pay when using NuLink services?

Accepted Answer

Demand-side users pay NLK to obtain services offered by the supply side. This payment use case concerns consuming services, which differs from the staking use of NLK by providers participating in supply.
